Institutions

Since 2016, the seven schools under IBTE have been restructured into two cluster of schools, namely IBTE Central and IBTE Satellite. [5] The schools have also been renamed so as to reflect better their merger under one umbrella institution, taking up the terms 'IBTE' and 'Campus' as part of the new names. [6]
